Professor Marius Turda explores the history and impact of the eugenics movement. He delves into the origins of eugenics, its rise to prominence, and its influence on social and health policies worldwide. The work highlights the visual and public iconographies used to promote eugenic ideologies, examining their role in shaping societal attitudes and reinforcing discriminatory practices.
